If you have to, you have to... But why do you have to?

Just reading the sensors and transmitting the results via Blue tooth should be easy then. If you're good at Android, you should do the filtering on the phone, rather than on the controller.

I havn't done usb interfacing earlier.

You want it to be wired??

A Blue Tooth unit on the 'controller isn't hard to talk to and I'm assuming that you want to "wave" your phone to control a 'bot - not very elegant with a USB cable attached :)

Oh no. I meant that the accelerometer data from the phone is to be given to the microcontroller via the USB whcih will then transmit it to another microcontroller in the bot via rf.

Yes that is an easy method using the bt module.

But I dont want to use a  bt module or an accelerometer module
The hardware to use is:
Two microcontrollers with rf transmitter-receiver(434 Mhz) and a android smart phone.
